@ElVaah Right on for the Dianogah mention. First time I ever heard of them (in a Vinyl Ink Records update in 1996) the review name-dropped Tortoise. And this song is probably the reason. The resemblance is uncanny. Dianogah may be inactive at the moment but I got to see them in Philly in 1997. Missed them on the tour for their last album!
Heard this group for the first time on Pandora. Love this song - incredible beat - can play it over and over. Very talented group of people. Thank you EffettoKirlian.
Zero people need to get their asses beat down.

If anyone is looking for more music like this, look into Dianogah. Two bassists and a drummer, it sounds incredible.

This album was groundbreaking when it was released and I still think it's Tortoise's best album.

One of my favs... Heard it on Bonnaroo 03 DVD I think....
One of my closest friends drowned a few years back and this song makes me think in a montage of memories of him.
RIP Cordell

It's sad that one of the most amazing songs of all-time only has 1,400 views.

@abbychaya Why isn't it a song?

@TheChawMan This isn't a song because there's no-one singing. It is (great) instrumental music, but it isn't a song.

@rosmrosm You're wrong sir.
Webster's definition 4 of a song - a distinctive or characteristic sound or series of sounds. examples whale songs, bird songs... They have no words.

@freakscene88 I never mentioned "words", I said there was no-one singing ;-)
Anyway: Tortoise is a nice instrumental band. As far as I know they only made songs when they made an album with Bonnie 'Prince' Billy.
